Where the Hell did that come from?

I used to say I didn't like opera but I've been watching this all night.

Awesome.
The first time I saw that was around Thanksgiving.
If I remember correctly, it had more length to it because all three judges and the audience gave him a standing ovation.

At the time it brought a tear to my eye.

Thanks for the memory Stan.

I remember it being much the same for me when I heard about him a number of months ago too. Heck, I remember the first time I watched "Il Trovatore" on PBS one night, by sheer luck. The incomparable Placido Domingo, a spinto tenor (Pavarotti was a lyrical), shattered my heart with the cry in his voice for losing his beloved in one of the most twisted turns of fate ever written, and from then on I was captivated by this crazy thing called opera.
Hopefully soon TCL will be bustling with us all in a fair send off of 2007.

I love this man. Were I not wed, I would throw myself at his feet.

(BTW, despite my nom de plume, I am female. Just so's ya know.)

Where is everybody?

That little button in the left column, above the Dougster will open a chat room. Right now it's a freebie and, to quote Otto, "Sucks eggs." It is functional however and has some fun features. I'll be upgrading it shortly so we can open separate rooms and see chat history. (And get rid of the ads) If there's enough interest it can be upgraded further to something like the Arena short form that we had envisioned. One window for the combatants and another for the crowd. If you're just stopping by, leave a comment so I can gauge the level of interest.

Mr. Paules' Classroom - $470.00

By daddyquatro -
Mark William Paules is a high school teacher. That's his day job. But he is, first and foremost, a patriot. In a rare attempt to combine these two avocations, he made this appeal "I need 20 copies of "Silent America" for my classroom. The school is broke, but I think we can raise the money right on a thread if you're willing. How about a pledge week for Mr. Paules' classroom?" To that end, we have started the MPC ("Mr Paules' Classroom") pledge drive. Please use the paypal button on the left sidebar to donate. To keep things on the up and up, I will note all donations in comments to this post. If you wish to remain anonymous, please say so in the "description" field of your donation. If you make a donation and don't see it noted in the comments please let me know. daddyquatro_at_gmail_dot com. Can we do it! Yes we can!
